Whoo! I did a lot of stuff today, and I am almost done with my essays. I just need to get my volunteer and my role model essays done. It is a lot of stuff but I don't think I have a choice if I want to be a 1st degree black belt. I am a little bit tired, but I can see it in my future. Me becoming a 1st degree black belt. Wow! I WILL NEVER EVER EVER GIVE UP!!!
